"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face us with the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."---Henri Nouwen
Tracey, I just wanted to thank you for your call yesterday, but most of all, for knowing in your heart that so many of us here stand with you as these days with your dad unfold. We are all powerless, but we love you, we care and you have our support. Remember that.
